Hejnar Photo new Arca Style QR Plate Dedicated to Fujifilm X-T4

Hejnar PHOTO has just announced the release of their D054 Quick Release Plate dedicated to the  Fujifilm X-T4 Interchangeable Lens mirror-less camera.

Nonetheless, the D054 is quite different in design than the D042 that was originally developed for the Fujifilm X-T3. 
Major difference between the recent Fujifilm models and older models is the relocation of the tripod socket under the lens center axis, thus making the fitting for a QR plate quite easier but still there has to be clearance for the battery door.

Some of the older SCV Photography Ideas readers may recall a series of articles engaged with solutions for the stabilization of long telephoto lenses via Long Lens Support Brackets (LLSBs).

But what happens when you want to support a real monster like the SIGMA 800 mm f/5.6 EX DG APO HSM lens? Well trust me a simple bracket as the ones we have seen up to now is not enough then.
Triggered by user demand, Sunwayfoto has gone all the way in introducing a series of Long Lens Support Kits named YLS-G1 through G3 addressing different lens lengths. Their largest model YLS-G3 capable of supporting the Sigma beast is in review here.

Sunwayfoto Introduces EPIC Series Extremely Lightweight Traveller Ball Heads
